Basket price in OSRS — live Grand Exchange data

About Basket

In game it is examined as “An empty fruit basket.” Basket is members-only, so a membership is needed to trade or use it. The base game value is 1 gp, which is what shops price from rather than what players pay.

Basket buy limit

The Grand Exchange lets one account buy 10,000 every 4 hours. That is a generous limit, so the market rather than the limit is usually what caps a position here. Filling it once costs about 30,000 gp at the 3 gp price recorded on 11 October 2026. The limit is per account and resets on a rolling 4-hour timer.

GE tax on Basket

The 2% sale tax is rounded down, and at 3 gp it rounds to nothing — sales under 50 gp are untaxed, so a flip here keeps its whole margin.

High alching Basket

High alchemy turns one Basket into 1 gp. That is less than the 142 gp nature rune the cast costs, so alching Basket always loses money.

How much Basket trades

Basket sees about 42.9K trades a day, which makes it steadily traded — an order priced at the spread normally fills the same hour. That is roughly 4 times the 10,000 buy limit.
